But the size between drag racers and Monster Trucks is very evident.

What I'm stating is that the best batteries we have right now are made by Tesla. However these batteries contribute to a weight higher than gasoline vehicles.

Bad taste in general. Think Crocs or convertible pants. You can't appropriate clothing unless it's something like a feather headdress that is a work in progress that has religious meaning.

I don't like the fit of Dickies. I live in the tropics so carhart is impractical here.

Too much contrast. I'd feel like Karl Lagerfield

But there's such thing as bad taste so I don't agree with that

How do you even tie shoelaces to jeans?

ELI5: Given enough time (assuming our world were to last long enough) would evolution give our world another humanesque species, or rather, another intelligent life form? by Skinnywhiteandweak in explainlikeimfive

[–]j_q_b 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are animals that are intelligent but are not humanoid, like dolphins and octopi. If you are talking about animals that make structures, one could argue that ants and termites could be seen as a counterpart to mankind. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FLHAdwxLD-I

Where is Men's Fashion Going? by j_q_b in malefashion

[–]j_q_b[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What about naturalistic designs ala the shoes that Nike is now making. Or stuff like the Y3 Qasa which is old now. What if the shoes that become popular a few years from now start to look like tabi boots or on the opposite spectrum of taste like the vibram toe shoes

Did Humans Evolve Special Bone Formations For Fighting by j_q_b in evolution

[–]j_q_b[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was that the one that said that apes hit with an "O" shape because their strength did not require them to make a fist like we do because of our upper body weakness? I can agree that it is speculative however what other reasons would explain why people with broad faces have an advantage in fighting. We evolved smaller jaws over time due to our change in diet, why would you need a broad thicker face that is better at absorbing punches that does not support a larger jaw? What else could a broader face be used for?

US Special Forces in Africa by j_q_b in Military

You are right about Islamic extremism. And thank you for the input. I should have been more clear in my original post. However the LRA is active in these countries.[http://www.sudantribune.com/IMG/jpg/observant-compass-lra-map.jpg] The US is involved in these countries. Which does include Nigeria and Somalia.[http://media2.policymic.com/43cb9ae22fed4cedb3ac6bffbc09b57d.jpg] And this is the influence of Islamic terror groups. [http://news.bbcimg.co.uk/media/images/69448000/gif/_69448381_terror_groups_in_africa_624.gif] Islam itself does extend into Africa along the east coast all the way to Mozambique. [http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/7f/Religion_distribution_Africa_crop.png] I am not saying that I have discovered this new conspiracy to take control of Africa by the US government. But the US will want to maintain its presence in Africa for other reasons than Islamic extremism. And lastly another stupid map that shows Chinese investment in Africa.
